The “Pope Visiting Chicago” subplot gets a bit of screen time this week on The Exorcist, while the continuing possession and attempted exorcism of Casey Rance builds to a stunning cliffhanger in “Father of Lies”.

The continuing story of Casey Rance’s possession is leavened by doses of both humor and compassion in the penultimate episode before next week’s full-on exorcism. Does “The Moveable Feast” set the stage?

The third chapter of THE EXORCIST “levels up” in darkness, intensity, and mystery. “Let ‘Em In” brings to the television version of The Exorcist disturbing, “can’t look away” levels of horror reminiscent of its’ movie parent.

“Speak of the devil, and he shall appear,” or for fans of the original Latin – “Lupus in Fabula, venit enim ad me.” THE EXORCIST’s second episode develops a fascinating mystery with a dollop or two of gross-out as the possession of Angela Rance continues.
